how many million gallons of sea water is in the gulf? In the end, how many parts per Trillion is the dispersant vs sea water? I suspect that if you drank the water in the gulf, the salt would kill you long before you were affected by any chemicals.

To have a government enviromental agency report that they find toxins is like paying the wolf to guard the hen house.

Foolish, at best.

You misread the article:

” The results contrast with those released by the Environmental Protection Agency in August 2010. That study found that a mixture of oil and Corexit isn’t more toxic than oil alone to both a species of shrimp and species of fish. However, several studies have found the mixture is more toxic than oil to the embryos of several fish species. The EPA could not immediately be reached for comment.

“To date, EPA has done nothing but congratulate itself on how Corexit was used and avow they would do it the same way again,” MacDonald said.”
